Mr. Letter said he thought he should find something good on that side, and particularly upon this question ; and he proceeded to oppose thu amendment un the ground that the Commercial Hospital was a township institution. Mr. Puirh still claimed that the inaltution belonged to the township of Cincinnati; but, by an agreement to which the township waa bound, the asylum is compelled to receive lunatic paupers from any county in the Slate which may chooae to send them there, fur winch the asylum receives but two dollars per week for their board, and nothing for their medical atten dance or medicine. This agreement robs the aaylum I thu power to turu away one that may be sent tnun any portion of the State ; aud the consequence is that the room is wholly insiillicieni to accommodate those now thrust in there.

Un fortunately lor him and the Slate loo, that position has furnished him sn opportunity lo exercise a controlling intluenco over proceedings here. From the commencement of the session down to the present moment, under Ihe advice of persons more sagacious and less scrupulous than himself, he has unceasingly exercised the peculiar functions with which by accident he was originally invested, and which he has moat assiduous ly labored to preserve unimpaired. Under the super intending guidance of his overseers, the wheels of legislation have moved where he willed it they have stopped iu obedience to his commands, Ollices and dignities have been at his disposal, and to aapiranta and their friends he has dictated Ihe terms of purchase anu sum. As the head of Titr. balance or powr.it, whose omnipotent energies have been brought to bear invariably in one direction, upon every parly question that has been diacuaaed upon ti floor, he has acquired a notoriety that ought to satisfy the moat craving ambition. Is he not satufied 1 Has he not done enough 1 Do his relentless mailers exact more at Ins hands f Will they not yet permit him to escape from the toils of slavish aervility, and aaautnp once more the attitude and functions of a man aud a freeman ? It seems not. The stipulations are not all yet fulfilled. Important work remains yet to be performed. Tune must be had in which lo complete it. And how does the gentleman from Lorain propose to secure to hi rime If and his dictatorial allies thu requisite time i The motion now made br himself, and which is now pending, diacloaea meat fully the means by which, in secret conclave, it haa been determined to attain that end. Tina Legislature has now been in session nearly three and a half mouths. Il has worse than waited nearly $50,000 of ihe peopln'a money. Every day the session is prolonged adds $500 more lo the already startling aggregate. Resolution upon resolution, piuvidmg for a i tie die adjournment, has been offered here and in Ihe chamber above. They havo met ft uniform fale. Every one of them has been voted down or diaposed of in some other more summary manner. At last, however, a Democratic Senator, regarding the interests of the people as of more importance than tho purposes and behests of party, has sundered the shackle that bound him; uud, with tho Whigs, has effected tho pasinge of a joint resolution through that branch to adjourn on the 21st instant. That resolution has been sent to us. It has been pre aented to us for adoption. And how is it met ! hat disposition is proposed to be made of li Why, sir, Ihe gentleman from Lorain that immaculate Free Smler the man who revolves in a political orbit that is far above all party attractions and party considerationsthe apKAT uNspoitor.n "has the unblushing audacity to move lis reference to a select committee of one. He gravely requests us, in short, to permit him to put il 111 his pocket. But his brazen effrontery stops not here. He goes further still. He volunteers to give us his reason for so doing and what is it? He says there are certain measures pending before this General Auembly that must be disKed nf before he is willing lu consent to let il fix a day of adjournment. Among others he mentions the bill now pending be foio this House, whose proviaions rrpcal the entire apportionment bdl of last winter, and re-apportion the State throughout. 1 confess, Mr. Speaker, that when Iho gentleman announced such a reason, 1 was some, what agitated. It disclosed a great leature in ihe renowned contract, which 1 had fondly hoped did not exist. It manifested a determination winch it would be belter for the gentleman and his associates not to cherish. As I before remarked, the gentleman's position is a peculiar one. Of all men on this lloor he is the last that ought to have made tins motion. Of all men living, ho is Iho last thai ought to consent to lake Ihe custody of this resolution. If it muii be taken from before the llouae and pocketed, Ihe duty of doing it, should have been devolved upon same other person than himself. He has been made to tyrannize enough, without adding this as the crowning act of his brief and inglorious legislative career. The " ai.anc or power" has already rendered itielf sulticiently ub noxious aud contemptible. Vengeance, already too long delayed, is even now fait advancing upon its footsie pa. Tho thunders of popular indignation, awakened by its unprecedented doings here, are already being echoed from every hill-top, and reverberated through every valley of the State. Alter having overleaped at a single hound the barriers of the Constitution trampled solemn legal en aetmenls under foot dia franc hi aed a portion of hia fellow-citizens kicked the true lepreaeutatives out of doors to mnke room for iuterloH'ra and bargained away hia principles, at the command nf hia inaatera and to secure their elevation to placea ot trust and prolii after having dons all litis, I say, will he yet dare to go farther.'

Firmness in the right, in me, is too well developed to permit me tn waver for a moment, under such circumstances, in such a crisis.

He had no desire, ho said, to have the reaohuion com mitted to himself he would even bo aalialied to have it go to the gentleman from Summit; much rather it almuld go there than that he (Mr. T ) should be com. polled to vote againat it. Mr. Itiirirer said that he nad no more objection in the resolution going into Ihe hands ot the " balance of power than lie had to its oeing committed to any other member of tho party on Iho left; but he wished it passed now. Mr. Molt sent to the Clerk's deak a pnelical effn-ainn called 11 lleelirhuh's Cattle Show a Dream ;" which the Clerk read with due emphasis, amidst a roar of laughter from both sides of the House. Mr. Olds desired that the vote on Ihe commitment ahould bo a teat one. Ileconfcaaed his inability to see the reaaon for sending the resolution into the pocket of any member. The reason given hy the member from Lorain was already removed. The apportionment lull for Hamilton county and tho appropriation hill have both pasted the llouae. Mr. Towuahend explained. When he spoke of tho apportionment bill, he alluded lo the one re-diatricting the entire State. That was the one which moat bu acted upon before ft rvaolutiou to adjourn should be adopted. Mr. Olds. That is made the special order for next Tueaday. One dny can aeltle it; and probably but one day will be occupied, under any ciroumalances, in its consideration. He hoped that the vote on the motion to refer would be considered aa a teat one upon the question of an early adjournment. The debale waa further continued by Messrs.

Gnrnl Taylor's Administration. There were those among us who opposed the nom ination, and after the nomination was made, opposed the eleclion of Gen. Tayi.ou, on the ground that he was not sufficiently a Whig to suit their purposes. Tho General had said that although he was ft Whig, ho was " not ultra " in hia opinions. This was regar ded, by those tcho wen vttra, an ominous of indecision 00 Ins part, and as warranting an apprehension that he would prove derelict on some points of principle which have ever been regarded as cardinal hy the Whigi of tho union. True he declared that, had be voted al the election in IH4 1, he should have bestowed his suflrage for Hknhv Cur. But this wns thought by many to indicate only a personal friendship for " the great Civilian," and as General Taylor hnd spent the most or his life in the camp, and was comparatively unacquainted with the labors and duties of the cabinet, it was unsafe and inexpedient to pass hy such men as Clay, Webster, Corwin, Crittenden, Clayton, Ewing, and other tried and approved Whigstatcsmen, and give a preference to one who, however eminent his services in another department, and however elevated his character for honor and integrity, was wholly untried and unschooled in the duties of the station to which it was proposed to advance him. We admit that this reasoning was not without ita effect upon our own minds. We had our own personal preference, and that preference waa greatly strengthened by a local partiality, in which the great mass of the Whigs of Ohio participated. Other Whigs of other States had like preferences and partialities, as honestly entertained, no doubt, as were our own. To settle these differences, (which involved nothing of principle,) wo advocated a convention, in which the Whigs of tho nation should be represented. Ohio was among the first States to demand such a convention ; and iu go ing into il, sho of course submitted her own predilections lo tho arbitrament of that tribunal. From tho moment the decision of that convention waa promul gated, reposing entire confidence in the fairness of its proceedings, and in the discretion and integrity of its members, we yielded to its nominees ft hearty, zeal ous and unwavering support. Some, however, look a different Tiew of their duty, and by sotno process of ratiocination not entirely adap ted to our comprehension, felt themselves st liberty to forego all efforts to sustain the nominations of their political friends while others went still farther, and made common cause with our common enemy by ex citing discontent and organizing a " third part i,' tho comtitucnta of which were to he drawn in the prnpor lion of five to 0110 from among the Whigs. Tune, which tests the truth of all things, rolled on ; and, in the fulfilment of hii destiny, General Taylor was triumphantly elected to the Presidency, nowithstanding llicie adverse circumatancea. And now, the sincerity of the motives asaigned by tlioae who refused their support to the candidates designated hy their own political friends, is to be tried. They were not satisfied that General Taylor was sufficiently orthodox in his devotion to Whig principles. We ask ihem lo read his admirable Inaugural speech, and say if the genuine Whig ipirit does not breathe in every line of it? Read it again, and say to us if there be a sentiment therein continued which docs not find a ready response in every Whig bosom ? Then look to those whom he lias selected for his Cabinet Ministers his confidential counsellors; are they not Whig? Which of them has ever been known to falter when the Whig column has been ntosl sorely pressed by the cohorts of Loco focoism i Is not Thomas Ewiko "Whig enough"1 for our fastidious friends? And are John M Clat-ion, and Jacod Collaner, and William M. Mkhk-hit ii, or any of their associates in the Cabinet, at all deficient in their devotion to the advancement of Whig principles ? If not, then it behooves all those, who for thn reasons assigned, withheld their support from the nominees of the Whig National Convention, lo correct the error into which they fell, and manifest the integ rity of their purposes by a cheerful support of an ad ministration about whose principles Uie re lingers not a doubt. If Ihey cannot do this, let them no longer deceive themselves by vain attempts to cover tip their own defection. They are not themselves H'ltigs, and are entirely mistaken if they auppoae they erer were. The Ltbtinon Star was ono of the W hig papers in Ohio which refused its support in the election of Gen. Taylor. It did not, however, liko some others, as perse the motives of thoae Whigs from whose actions il diaiented. It maintained throughout the campaign, a sort of armed neutrality. When the result was as- certatned, tho editor avowed his determination to judtre the new administration by its acts ; and in his paper of yesterday, at the close of a long and candid review of Gen. Taylor's Inaugural speech, the editor says: We opposed the nomination and election of Gen. Taylor for liiativ reaaona, but fiually because his twi Allmon letters did not embrace a loll and satisfactory Wing and-anti-alavery creed; but the Inaugural is aatialaclory it is clear and explicit, and if Gen. Tar lor squares his administration hy it aa we confidently be lie to he will we feel morally and politically bound to extend to it a cordial, unwavering, and enthusiastic support. A Damp Time. Tho Washington Union gives a sorrowful account of the scenes which took place ft- mong tho adherents of the late adtniniatration, on their re ti racy from office and their parting with each other They delivered addreases, one to another, full of the moat lender expressions. They shook hands and turn ed away lo hide the tears that were starting from their eyes. They hid their laces in sympathetic cambric, and curtained their brows in sadncas and despair. They sighed "aloa! my brother," and embittered the preaent parting with painful forebodings of the future. They caat lingering glances to ward a the seats which they are no more tn occupy, and muttered anathemas against the power that had cast them out. They had no hope. There was no couaciouaness ot a hold upon the affections of tho people, secured by the services of four years in their behalf.. They wrought the mine of office (or themselves alone, and their regret is thai to them it yields its riches no longer. r Thanks. The people of Ohio owe their thanks to Mr. Grti ham, the "Democratic" Senator from Stark county, for having offered and voted fur a resolution proposing to put an end to this elongated and most unprofitable session of the Legislature. That resolution passed the Senate ye ate rd ay every Locufoco present, except Mr. Graham, Toting against its passage. What will bo its fate in the House, wo know not; but there is encouragement in the fact that one Senator has risen above the dictates of partisan leaders, and has given his vote for a termination of the session. The people of the Slate ahould not forget thia act of Mr. Graham ; and if he never does another clear thing in his life (he would do audi all Iho time if left to tho bent of his own inclination) we thank him for this.

MONDAY EVENING, Mnrch 12, 1840. The Bargain Sale of Ihe " Democratic Parly" The Consideration, That a corrupt bargain has been entered into, signed and scaled, and its ratification exchanged between the high contracting parties, is a matter which no longer ail in in of doubt. That by the terms of that contract, Ihe Looofoco party was transferred to the Liberty par-ty, wilh certain specific reservations, is apparent upon the very face of Ihe transaction. But lest some may affect lo disbelieve the existence of such a bargain, we propose to adduce a few items of the testimony which have transpired to tho public, making up the volume of irrefragable proof. And first, we call Dr. Norton S. Townshend, the " balance of power " member from Lorain, to the stand. In a letter written by him from this city, on the 7th day of December last, and addressed to the Editor of the Elyria C'ourier,Dt. Townshend says : " What turn may be given to our affairs before this reaches you or your readers, 1 cannot tell. My impression is, that after a day or two more we shall organize. We arc busily engaged in holding conferences, and submitting and discussing various pkopositions. Considerable good humor now prevails, (TJ" nd were it not that the Democratic party in the Legislature has so many loavks and fish Kb to dispcnse,all obstacles to an organiintion might be removed in rivt minutks. Should there be an organization, fXJ there is almost A cbhtaihtv that the lilacli Laws Will be repealed." The foregoing, It will bo perceived, was written on the fourth day of tho present session, after the attempt 10 force a Revolution had signally failed, and the bullies and ruffians of the Locufoco party, brought hit her to overawe the Legislature, were just being withdrawn. The extract evinces with sufficient clearness what was going forward sub rosa, among the thadixo politicians, even at that early day. They were " busily engaged in holding conferences, and submitting and discussing various propositions!" Tho chief dillicul-ty they had lo ovecome was Ihe great number of 11 loaves and fifties " to bo " dispensed " to Ihe Loco foco party. The writer was greatly encouraged to believe, nevertheless, that, "after a day or two more," this obstacle would bo aurmounted ; and if so, there was "almost a certainty that the Black Laws would be repealed." Now, in view of these declarations thus early made and deliberately written out for publication, and in view of tho events which soon thereafter transpired in the Legislature, we demand of any candid mind whether there can be a doubt as to the existence of a bargain, including a stipulation of transfer, and even the specifications for "dispensing" tho aforesaid "loaves and fishes " Mark the Townshend proposition for " comprorniie," which in an evil day found favor with the Whiga in the House; mark tho vote of Towuahend and Morse upon the prima facie right of Pugh and Pierce to seats ; mirk the unaccounted for uud unaccountable vote of these men for the admission of these claimants to scats, notwithstanding their utter inability lo show even a prima facie right, mark the most wonderful fulfillment of ihe wonderful prediction of the "certainly that tho Black Laws would he repealed," provided Ihese other preliminary arrangements should he effected ; see Loco foco members who had made Hostility to such repeat ft chief merit before their conatituenls, come up meekly, and in almoat aolid column, to Ihe work of repeal ; see the "J7 votes cost for William Allen for ro election to the Senate by a party which was capable at the same time to cast ro votes for Spalding and Caldwell for Judges of the Supreme Court; mark the prompt withdrawal of Mr. Allen s name by Mr. Whitman, lest ft "turn might be giccn to the allair which should reault in the election of Allen, and thus knock the bargain into pi; mark the election of Chase, (As Abolitionist, by the votea of every Locofoco member present ; mark tho manner in which the " loaves and babes have been diapenacd under the operation of this bargain and sale. hereby the Whig party of the Stale, which had just elected a Governor and a majority of members of the llouae, were excluded from any, even the least par ticipation; at.d mark finally the election of Hamlin, the base pimp and procurer of this base political concubinage, and tell us if there be room for ft doubt as to the existence of " the bargain. Bui we have still further testimony to this same fact. Mr. Thompson, thu Representative from Delaware, writing from this city on Wednesday last, to the OUntangy Gazelle, (of which paper he is editor,) says : 11 Two Loco Judges were on the fint ballot elected for the staunch Whig county of Cuyahoga, and then came the ballot for President of the Board of Public Works, to winch office E S. Hamlin was elected on the first ballot every Democratic member voting for him, together with Townshend and Morae. If there ia one man in the Slate who has felt diaposed to doubt the exiatence of the corrupt bargain an frequently referred to, this laat election must he sufficient lo remove every veslige nf doubt. But if this is not satisfactory evidence, 1 will atate the fact that a Democratic member declartd in the Ihnse this morning, in presence of stvcral Hhies, that a regular writtkn aoreem in t was entered into and signed by every Democratic member but himself." It is clear that, by the tonorof the treaty of arrangement between the " Balance of Power " party and tho late " Democratic " party, Ihe latter is merged in the former. Points cardinal in the " Democratic " creed, last October, are now "obsolete ideas " Those who were then vociferous in their declarations for " De mocracy," must now content themselves with playing second fiddle to the Abolition orators ! On the West ern Reserve wa a'e to have Judge Wood, and Brin-kerb oof, and Stanton, and Judge Spaulding, gleaning after Giddings, and Chase, and Briggs, and Hamlin good Lord.' In the South and Southwest, Allen, and Thurman, and Byinglon, and Disney, are to take lea sons from Sam. Lewis, to whose bishopric they are as signed. Alas! for tho "Democratic" party, which bore ita banner triumphantly through tl e Stale on the Tib of November last! Now, how fallen! The humble re. cipient of favors from an evanescent faction, boasting no other principle than shrewdness at ft bargain no other merit than the fortuitous " Balance of power ! " But yesterday, she bore her head aloft, and challenged respect from every passer hy. Now, none so poor as do her reveronce ! Ihe very bond-rlavo, tho chattel of those who have purchased her for consideration. And what, it may be asked, is that consideration f We answer, so far as the items " nominated in the bond " have transpired, they consist 1. In the repeal of the Black Laws; J. The election of 8. P. Chase In the Senate; 3. The election of Spaulding and Caldwell lo thn Supreme Bench ; 4. The securing to S. Medary Ihe printing for the House ; 5. The " dispensing " of some thirty little fishes," in tho shape of Associate Judgahipa ; and G. Tho eleclion of the thing Hamlin to Ihe Board of Public works. Honest democrat, we entreat you to look at the cat alogue, and see if you bo not proud of" the Bargain ?" Will it nol be a source ol pride and gratulatiun in all time to come, to look back upon the present elevated position and lofty bearing of your party ! There is exlnnt ft fable of a certain description of people finding employment in leading apes in hell. But here ia the Locofoco parly of Ohio, late so proud being led about by worse than apes, in this political Paudetuo. nium! Democrat, look up! Let us see your face, that we may know whether your blood refines lo do its office aud mantle your cheek with an honest blush. TiiiNni at Wa!hi(iton On Thursday evening nf last week, tho Heads of Departments, under tho late administration, retired from otlice, and ihe new Secretaries were duly placed in poeieaaion of their several offices. On Thursday morning, the new ohV cials received calls from the subordinates of their several ollices. On the same day, Mr. Ewing received calls of gentlemen from Ohio, and accompanied them to the President's House. Mr. l'rcaton also received calls of gentlemen from Virginia, and extended to ihem the same act of courtesy. Mr. Crawford, the new Secretary of War, had not arrived in the city, hut was oi pec. ted on Saturday. The National Whig of Saturday lays: 11 The crowd is assuaging gradually, like the flood of Noah did, when the March winds blew over the face of the deep. The weather, which has been a month of wet, has become clear again, and tho pleasant breezes of spring prevail. In a few days more our city will relapse into its wonted quiet, except when disturbed by fresh herds of ptace-AMnOrs.'' UT The Rev. Thomas II. Stockton, of Cincinnati, formerly of Philadelphia, haa been elected President of Miami University. The Legislature Adjournment. In the House of Representatives on Saturday after noon, a demonstration waa made upon the subject of an adjournment which is worthy of notice, as it exhibits Ihe intentions of the "balance of power" m that behalf. The question came up on tho Senate resolution 0f Mr. Graham, naming the 21st inst. as the day of adjournment. The passage of the resolution was strongly rosisted by Dr. Townshend, who declared his determination lo resist every movement of that kind until the passage of a bill providing for ft re-dislricting of the Stale has been effected. We do not know how this now promulgation or the will of the "balance of power," will be received through lite State. A very general demand has been made upon the General Assembly toadiourn. Several of the Locofoco members of both Houses have mani fested ft disposition to comply wilh the known wishes of the people so plainly expressed. It is evident, however, that there are ulterior views still cherished by those who havo temporarily seized upon the destinies of the State j and that among olher things to be provided for is a perpetuation of their rule for yean and sessions yet to come. The balance of power now takes the lead in Locofoco measures and movements-it looks for rewards which neither ability nor the self-respect of the present General Assembly can confer upon it; and m default of these, is holding on, with the grasp of death, upon the lingering remnants of that authority, which, when suffered to slip from its hands, is gone forever. The Senate- Kuilroads and Canals. In the Senate this morning, we listened with pleasure to the reoding of an able report, by Mr. Goddard, Chairman of the Committee upon Public Works, upon a resolution inquiring into the expediency of granting charters to railroad companies, where their works might come in competition with the canals of the State. The report gives an extended view of the statistics of canals and railroads, in olher countries, as well as our own, and exhibits in a strong light the fact, that in scarcely one known instance has the estahlish-mentof ono line of communication detracted materially from the usefulness, value or profit of another. Ilia true, that every important work, whether undertaken by States or indiviuals, has, when in operation, to a very great extent created its own business, and given birth to the sources of its own profit. That which it has taken from others has scarcely been felt, in tho new impulses which business has received in its vicinity, and in the development of wealth of which it has been the means. The report advocates a line of policy which is worthy of the wealth, the power and the liberality of the great Stale of Ohio a State which, whatever else she mar do will, we fondly hope, never refuse lo individual entcrprizc, those facilities which it asks, with a view still further todevel-ope our native wealth, and lo minister to the power and the happiness of our citizens. Arrival CxTn'AOKutNAur !

The Voice of thu Democracy Ntill Raised A-gainst the Inlnmoua Bargain - Will the Statesman call This a ' Forgery 1 ' The following is from the Lancaster Eagle. The pressure of public sentiment upon the editor of that paper haa forced from him another expression of the truth, in a form so plain (hat no comment is necessary . The Democratic Metnberaand Election ol United fltiMCs Venator. We announced, without comment in the Eagle of last week, the vote cast in the Legislature of Ohio, on the 21 at ult., for United States Senator. We forebore for moments of calmer reflection, lite expreaiion of feelings, such as we know justly excite the true-hearted democracy of Fairfield county, and inspire words which we hourly hear, of the most unqualified disapprobation. They are right. A foul wrong has been committed. The democracy of Ohio O, no! they have not been disgraced, but they have been betrayed, by a mt'nonry of the members elected to the Legislature as Democrats. And the people shall know the whole truth, they know it already as if by instinct! We know that many honest men would have the truth concealed, for supposed prudential reasons, whenever its disclosure directly convicts professing friends of profligacy lest these profligates become our open enemies, or our open enemies seixe upon the profligacy of such men as a charge and sn argument against the Democracy. This is false reasoning. The mass of our party consists of true men ; Ihe plain truth will always make them stronger more willing, readier, abler to meet thn menacing foe. Our limits will not permit us at this time to say all we know, think, and feel in relation to this notorious Senatorial election ; but, on the main points, we desire to present a few brief and definite remarks ; for it is the imperative duty of the Democratic press of Ohio to speak out plainly on this subject. For the last twelve years, Ohio has been represented in the Senale of the United States by Win. Allen. His firm, unwavering, and ardent devotion to the rights of the masses, has won for him the position-accorded by all kindred spirits, by the very pith and substance of our cause of the ciiAMrioitor me rao-ri.R. In that powerful and too anatocratie branch of the government has he stood, many times almost alone, breasting, with unflinching courage, the combined hosts ol privilege and corruption, driving them back, and down, beneath the feet of the people. Not heeding the menaces of Ihe enemy, their fierce words, scorning their temptations, beyond the reach of their wiles aud seducementi which corrupt and win ao many from our ranks he continued ever firm, pressing onward and upward in the high path of duty. Possessed of a menial combination as if cast in the very mould of Democracy itself, his political acta, all of them, will stand the most rigid scrutiny. It haa been Ins singular good fortune to have ft clean record, with out a blemib. Upon this grent, eloquent and true man, did the beat Democracy in Congress and among Ihe people, look, aa their main reliaiice in the Senate, during the pros cut administration. They ardently hoped for his reelection. Hut, what must have been their feelings and reflections, when they read in the papers from Columbus, that of the ffty three avowed Democrats of the Ohio Legislature, but 5r7 just a majority, voted. on the riHsr kallot, for William Allen ! I We can read the answer ail ar-iund us, among our own people. Why did the minority boll? Bf THAT VERY-ACT WAd TRAITOROUS! JD hoaretheyt Let their constituents know their names, that thkt may pass judgment on the acts of their servants. And why did they bolt? What ia the Dies of thia deaiructive precedent? Could they not conscientiously vote lor William Allen, one hallot at least f Some uf them, as we are told, declared in their wrath that they wonld never vote for Col. Allen ! Waa he not good enough Democrat for them t It appears not, for they sought a better one, in Salmon P. Chase, an Anoi iTioNiar, who Merer voted m Democratic ticket in histtfe!! And lor him did Ihey yote! Aye tans same men who would not vote even one ballot for lol. men : ; Why (Am opposition? Tho detail of their reasons their motives lor that, must be deferred lir the present. Some of them havo accomplished a momentary gratification of their revenge, or a temporary purpose ; a few have been duped; others suppose that they have slaughtered ft formidable rival(!l!) but the hon est Democracy of Ohio call for art explanatory justification, and upon this will they insist. No glossing over will satisfy them. ilad the minority ol the Ue moo ratio members voted with the majority, till it was found that Col. Allen could not be elected, their positian would have been far different front what it is.

The appropriation bill a ho old be pnaaed, and Ihe apportionment bill be diaposed of by the House. Mr. McClure remarked :l hope the motion of the gentleman from Lorain will not prevail. For his sake I hopo it will not. He occupies a peculiar, and, in my opinion, an unenviable position in tliia General Assembly, and before the people of this State. Un fortunately lor him and the Slate loo, that position has furnished him sn opportunity lo exercise a controlling intluenco over proceedings here. From the commencement of the session down to the present moment, under Ihe advice of persons more sagacious and less scrupulous than himself, he has unceasingly exercised the peculiar functions with which by accident he was originally invested, and which he has moat assiduous ly labored to preserve unimpaired. Under the super intending guidance of his overseers, the wheels of legislation have moved where he willed it they have stopped iu obedience to his commands, Ollices and dignities have been at his disposal, and to aapiranta and their friends he has dictated Ihe terms of purchase anu sum. As the head of Titr. balance or powr.it, whose omnipotent energies have been brought to bear invariably in one direction, upon every parly question that has been diacuaaed upon ti floor, he has acquired a notoriety that ought to satisfy the moat craving ambition. Is he not satufied 1 Has he not done enough 1 Do his relentless mailers exact more at Ins hands f Will they not yet permit him to escape from the toils of slavish aervility, and aaautnp once more the attitude and functions of a man aud a freeman ? It seems not. The stipulations are not all yet fulfilled. Important work remains yet to be performed. Tune must be had in which lo complete it. And how does the gentleman from Lorain propose to secure to hi rime If and his dictatorial allies thu requisite time i The motion now made br himself, and which is now pending, diacloaea meat fully the means by which, in secret conclave, it haa been determined to attain that end. Tina Legislature has now been in session nearly three and a half mouths. Il has worse than waited nearly $50,000 of ihe peopln'a money. Every day the session is prolonged adds $500 more lo the already startling aggregate. Resolution upon resolution, piuvidmg for a i tie die adjournment, has been offered here and in Ihe chamber above. They havo met ft uniform fale. Every one of them has been voted down or diaposed of in some other more summary manner. At last, however, a Democratic Senator, regarding the interests of the people as of more importance than tho purposes and behests of party, has sundered the shackle that bound him; uud, with tho Whigs, has effected tho pasinge of a joint resolution through that branch to adjourn on the 21st instant. That resolution has been sent to us. It has been pre aented to us for adoption. And how is it met ! hat disposition is proposed to be made of li Why, sir, Ihe gentleman from Lorain that immaculate Free Smler the man who revolves in a political orbit that is far above all party attractions and party considerationsthe apKAT uNspoitor.n "has the unblushing audacity to move lis reference to a select committee of one. He gravely requests us, in short, to permit him to put il 111 his pocket. But his brazen effrontery stops not here. He goes further still. He volunteers to give us his reason for so doing and what is it? He says there are certain measures pending before this General Auembly that must be disKed nf before he is willing lu consent to let il fix a day of adjournment. Among others he mentions the bill now pending be foio this House, whose proviaions rrpcal the entire apportionment bdl of last winter, and re-apportion the State throughout. 1 confess, Mr. Speaker, that when Iho gentleman announced such a reason, 1 was some, what agitated. It disclosed a great leature in ihe renowned contract, which 1 had fondly hoped did not exist. It manifested a determination winch it would be belter for the gentleman and his associates not to cherish. As I before remarked, the gentleman's position is a peculiar one. Of all men on this lloor he is the last that ought to have made tins motion. Of all men living, ho is Iho last thai ought to consent to lake Ihe custody of this resolution. If it muii be taken from before the llouae and pocketed, Ihe duty of doing it, should have been devolved upon same other person than himself. He has been made to tyrannize enough, without adding this as the crowning act of his brief and inglorious legislative career. The " ai.anc or power" has already rendered itielf sulticiently ub noxious aud contemptible. Vengeance, already too long delayed, is even now fait advancing upon its footsie pa. Tho thunders of popular indignation, awakened by its unprecedented doings here, are already being echoed from every hill-top, and reverberated through every valley of the State. Alter having overleaped at a single hound the barriers of the Constitution trampled solemn legal en aetmenls under foot dia franc hi aed a portion of hia fellow-citizens kicked the true lepreaeutatives out of doors to mnke room for iuterloH'ra and bargained away hia principles, at the command nf hia inaatera and to secure their elevation to placea ot trust and prolii after having dons all litis, I say, will he yet dare to go farther.'

Firmness in the right, in me, is too well developed to permit me tn waver for a moment, under such circumstances, in such a crisis.

Air mil. in conclusion, I time. I con 10 re the crentle- man for his men sake, if for no uther reason, to withdraw his motion, and permit thia resolution to pass. Mr. 1 ownshend thooirht his reasons lur wialnug a reference were satisfactory ones ; and he felt no fear 01 me responsibility which might devolve upon mm. He had no desire, ho said, to have the reaohuion com mitted to himself he would even bo aalialied to have it go to the gentleman from Summit; much rather it almuld go there than that he (Mr. T ) should be com. polled to vote againat it. Mr. Itiirirer said that he nad no more objection in the resolution going into Ihe hands ot the " balance of power than lie had to its oeing committed to any other member of tho party on Iho left; but he wished it passed now. Mr. Molt sent to the Clerk's deak a pnelical effn-ainn called 11 lleelirhuh's Cattle Show a Dream ;" which the Clerk read with due emphasis, amidst a roar of laughter from both sides of the House. Mr. Olds desired that the vote on Ihe commitment ahould bo a teat one. Ileconfcaaed his inability to see the reaaon for sending the resolution into the pocket of any member. The reason given hy the member from Lorain was already removed. The apportionment lull for Hamilton county and tho appropriation hill have both pasted the llouae. Mr. Towuahend explained. When he spoke of tho apportionment bill, he alluded lo the one re-diatricting the entire State. That was the one which moat bu acted upon before ft rvaolutiou to adjourn should be adopted. Mr. Olds. That is made the special order for next Tueaday. One dny can aeltle it; and probably but one day will be occupied, under any ciroumalances, in its consideration. He hoped that the vote on the motion to refer would be considered aa a teat one upon the question of an early adjournment. The debale waa further continued by Messrs.

Gnrnl Taylor's Administration. There were those among us who opposed the nom ination, and after the nomination was made, opposed the eleclion of Gen. Tayi.ou, on the ground that he was not sufficiently a Whig to suit their purposes. Tho General had said that although he was ft Whig, ho was " not ultra " in hia opinions. This was regar ded, by those tcho wen vttra, an ominous of indecision 00 Ins part, and as warranting an apprehension that he would prove derelict on some points of principle which have ever been regarded as cardinal hy the Whigi of tho union. True he declared that, had be voted al the election in IH4 1, he should have bestowed his suflrage for Hknhv Cur. But this wns thought by many to indicate only a personal friendship for " the great Civilian," and as General Taylor hnd spent the most or his life in the camp, and was comparatively unacquainted with the labors and duties of the cabinet, it was unsafe and inexpedient to pass hy such men as Clay, Webster, Corwin, Crittenden, Clayton, Ewing, and other tried and approved Whigstatcsmen, and give a preference to one who, however eminent his services in another department, and however elevated his character for honor and integrity, was wholly untried and unschooled in the duties of the station to which it was proposed to advance him. We admit that this reasoning was not without ita effect upon our own minds. We had our own personal preference, and that preference waa greatly strengthened by a local partiality, in which the great mass of the Whigs of Ohio participated. Other Whigs of other States had like preferences and partialities, as honestly entertained, no doubt, as were our own. To settle these differences, (which involved nothing of principle,) wo advocated a convention, in which the Whigs of tho nation should be represented. Ohio was among the first States to demand such a convention ; and iu go ing into il, sho of course submitted her own predilections lo tho arbitrament of that tribunal. From tho moment the decision of that convention waa promul gated, reposing entire confidence in the fairness of its proceedings, and in the discretion and integrity of its members, we yielded to its nominees ft hearty, zeal ous and unwavering support. Some, however, look a different Tiew of their duty, and by sotno process of ratiocination not entirely adap ted to our comprehension, felt themselves st liberty to forego all efforts to sustain the nominations of their political friends while others went still farther, and made common cause with our common enemy by ex citing discontent and organizing a " third part i,' tho comtitucnta of which were to he drawn in the prnpor lion of five to 0110 from among the Whigs. Tune, which tests the truth of all things, rolled on ; and, in the fulfilment of hii destiny, General Taylor was triumphantly elected to the Presidency, nowithstanding llicie adverse circumatancea. And now, the sincerity of the motives asaigned by tlioae who refused their support to the candidates designated hy their own political friends, is to be tried. They were not satisfied that General Taylor was sufficiently orthodox in his devotion to Whig principles. We ask ihem lo read his admirable Inaugural speech, and say if the genuine Whig ipirit does not breathe in every line of it? Read it again, and say to us if there be a sentiment therein continued which docs not find a ready response in every Whig bosom ? Then look to those whom he lias selected for his Cabinet Ministers his confidential counsellors; are they not Whig? Which of them has ever been known to falter when the Whig column has been ntosl sorely pressed by the cohorts of Loco focoism i Is not Thomas Ewiko "Whig enough"1 for our fastidious friends? And are John M Clat-ion, and Jacod Collaner, and William M. Mkhk-hit ii, or any of their associates in the Cabinet, at all deficient in their devotion to the advancement of Whig principles ? If not, then it behooves all those, who for thn reasons assigned, withheld their support from the nominees of the Whig National Convention, lo correct the error into which they fell, and manifest the integ rity of their purposes by a cheerful support of an ad ministration about whose principles Uie re lingers not a doubt. If Ihey cannot do this, let them no longer deceive themselves by vain attempts to cover tip their own defection. They are not themselves H'ltigs, and are entirely mistaken if they auppoae they erer were. The Ltbtinon Star was ono of the W hig papers in Ohio which refused its support in the election of Gen. Taylor. It did not, however, liko some others, as perse the motives of thoae Whigs from whose actions il diaiented. It maintained throughout the campaign, a sort of armed neutrality. When the result was as- certatned, tho editor avowed his determination to judtre the new administration by its acts ; and in his paper of yesterday, at the close of a long and candid review of Gen. Taylor's Inaugural speech, the editor says: We opposed the nomination and election of Gen. Taylor for liiativ reaaona, but fiually because his twi Allmon letters did not embrace a loll and satisfactory Wing and-anti-alavery creed; but the Inaugural is aatialaclory it is clear and explicit, and if Gen. Tar lor squares his administration hy it aa we confidently be lie to he will we feel morally and politically bound to extend to it a cordial, unwavering, and enthusiastic support. A Damp Time. Tho Washington Union gives a sorrowful account of the scenes which took place ft- mong tho adherents of the late adtniniatration, on their re ti racy from office and their parting with each other They delivered addreases, one to another, full of the moat lender expressions. They shook hands and turn ed away lo hide the tears that were starting from their eyes. They hid their laces in sympathetic cambric, and curtained their brows in sadncas and despair. They sighed "aloa! my brother," and embittered the preaent parting with painful forebodings of the future. They caat lingering glances to ward a the seats which they are no more tn occupy, and muttered anathemas against the power that had cast them out. They had no hope. There was no couaciouaness ot a hold upon the affections of tho people, secured by the services of four years in their behalf.. They wrought the mine of office (or themselves alone, and their regret is thai to them it yields its riches no longer. r Thanks. The people of Ohio owe their thanks to Mr. Grti ham, the "Democratic" Senator from Stark county, for having offered and voted fur a resolution proposing to put an end to this elongated and most unprofitable session of the Legislature. That resolution passed the Senate ye ate rd ay every Locufoco present, except Mr. Graham, Toting against its passage. What will bo its fate in the House, wo know not; but there is encouragement in the fact that one Senator has risen above the dictates of partisan leaders, and has given his vote for a termination of the session. The people of the Slate ahould not forget thia act of Mr. Graham ; and if he never does another clear thing in his life (he would do audi all Iho time if left to tho bent of his own inclination) we thank him for this.

MONDAY EVENING, Mnrch 12, 1840. The Bargain Sale of Ihe " Democratic Parly" The Consideration, That a corrupt bargain has been entered into, signed and scaled, and its ratification exchanged between the high contracting parties, is a matter which no longer ail in in of doubt. That by the terms of that contract, Ihe Looofoco party was transferred to the Liberty par-ty, wilh certain specific reservations, is apparent upon the very face of Ihe transaction. But lest some may affect lo disbelieve the existence of such a bargain, we propose to adduce a few items of the testimony which have transpired to tho public, making up the volume of irrefragable proof. And first, we call Dr. Norton S. Townshend, the " balance of power " member from Lorain, to the stand. In a letter written by him from this city, on the 7th day of December last, and addressed to the Editor of the Elyria C'ourier,Dt. Townshend says : " What turn may be given to our affairs before this reaches you or your readers, 1 cannot tell. My impression is, that after a day or two more we shall organize. We arc busily engaged in holding conferences, and submitting and discussing various pkopositions. Considerable good humor now prevails, (TJ" nd were it not that the Democratic party in the Legislature has so many loavks and fish Kb to dispcnse,all obstacles to an organiintion might be removed in rivt minutks. Should there be an organization, fXJ there is almost A cbhtaihtv that the lilacli Laws Will be repealed." The foregoing, It will bo perceived, was written on the fourth day of tho present session, after the attempt 10 force a Revolution had signally failed, and the bullies and ruffians of the Locufoco party, brought hit her to overawe the Legislature, were just being withdrawn. The extract evinces with sufficient clearness what was going forward sub rosa, among the thadixo politicians, even at that early day. They were " busily engaged in holding conferences, and submitting and discussing various propositions!" Tho chief dillicul-ty they had lo ovecome was Ihe great number of 11 loaves and fifties " to bo " dispensed " to Ihe Loco foco party. The writer was greatly encouraged to believe, nevertheless, that, "after a day or two more," this obstacle would bo aurmounted ; and if so, there was "almost a certainty that the Black Laws would be repealed." Now, in view of these declarations thus early made and deliberately written out for publication, and in view of tho events which soon thereafter transpired in the Legislature, we demand of any candid mind whether there can be a doubt as to the existence of a bargain, including a stipulation of transfer, and even the specifications for "dispensing" tho aforesaid "loaves and fishes " Mark the Townshend proposition for " comprorniie," which in an evil day found favor with the Whiga in the House; mark tho vote of Towuahend and Morse upon the prima facie right of Pugh and Pierce to seats ; mirk the unaccounted for uud unaccountable vote of these men for the admission of these claimants to scats, notwithstanding their utter inability lo show even a prima facie right, mark the most wonderful fulfillment of ihe wonderful prediction of the "certainly that tho Black Laws would he repealed," provided Ihese other preliminary arrangements should he effected ; see Loco foco members who had made Hostility to such repeat ft chief merit before their conatituenls, come up meekly, and in almoat aolid column, to Ihe work of repeal ; see the "J7 votes cost for William Allen for ro election to the Senate by a party which was capable at the same time to cast ro votes for Spalding and Caldwell for Judges of the Supreme Court; mark the prompt withdrawal of Mr. Allen s name by Mr. Whitman, lest ft "turn might be giccn to the allair which should reault in the election of Allen, and thus knock the bargain into pi; mark the election of Chase, (As Abolitionist, by the votea of every Locofoco member present ; mark tho manner in which the " loaves and babes have been diapenacd under the operation of this bargain and sale. hereby the Whig party of the Stale, which had just elected a Governor and a majority of members of the llouae, were excluded from any, even the least par ticipation; at.d mark finally the election of Hamlin, the base pimp and procurer of this base political concubinage, and tell us if there be room for ft doubt as to the existence of " the bargain. Bui we have still further testimony to this same fact. Mr. Thompson, thu Representative from Delaware, writing from this city on Wednesday last, to the OUntangy Gazelle, (of which paper he is editor,) says : 11 Two Loco Judges were on the fint ballot elected for the staunch Whig county of Cuyahoga, and then came the ballot for President of the Board of Public Works, to winch office E S. Hamlin was elected on the first ballot every Democratic member voting for him, together with Townshend and Morae. If there ia one man in the Slate who has felt diaposed to doubt the exiatence of the corrupt bargain an frequently referred to, this laat election must he sufficient lo remove every veslige nf doubt. But if this is not satisfactory evidence, 1 will atate the fact that a Democratic member declartd in the Ihnse this morning, in presence of stvcral Hhies, that a regular writtkn aoreem in t was entered into and signed by every Democratic member but himself." It is clear that, by the tonorof the treaty of arrangement between the " Balance of Power " party and tho late " Democratic " party, Ihe latter is merged in the former. Points cardinal in the " Democratic " creed, last October, are now "obsolete ideas " Those who were then vociferous in their declarations for " De mocracy," must now content themselves with playing second fiddle to the Abolition orators ! On the West ern Reserve wa a'e to have Judge Wood, and Brin-kerb oof, and Stanton, and Judge Spaulding, gleaning after Giddings, and Chase, and Briggs, and Hamlin good Lord.' In the South and Southwest, Allen, and Thurman, and Byinglon, and Disney, are to take lea sons from Sam. Lewis, to whose bishopric they are as signed. Alas! for tho "Democratic" party, which bore ita banner triumphantly through tl e Stale on the Tib of November last! Now, how fallen! The humble re. cipient of favors from an evanescent faction, boasting no other principle than shrewdness at ft bargain no other merit than the fortuitous " Balance of power ! " But yesterday, she bore her head aloft, and challenged respect from every passer hy. Now, none so poor as do her reveronce ! Ihe very bond-rlavo, tho chattel of those who have purchased her for consideration. And what, it may be asked, is that consideration f We answer, so far as the items " nominated in the bond " have transpired, they consist 1. In the repeal of the Black Laws; J. The election of 8. P. Chase In the Senate; 3. The election of Spaulding and Caldwell lo thn Supreme Bench ; 4. The securing to S. Medary Ihe printing for the House ; 5. The " dispensing " of some thirty little fishes," in tho shape of Associate Judgahipa ; and G. Tho eleclion of the thing Hamlin to Ihe Board of Public works. Honest democrat, we entreat you to look at the cat alogue, and see if you bo not proud of" the Bargain ?" Will it nol be a source ol pride and gratulatiun in all time to come, to look back upon the present elevated position and lofty bearing of your party ! There is exlnnt ft fable of a certain description of people finding employment in leading apes in hell. But here ia the Locofoco parly of Ohio, late so proud being led about by worse than apes, in this political Paudetuo. nium! Democrat, look up! Let us see your face, that we may know whether your blood refines lo do its office aud mantle your cheek with an honest blush. TiiiNni at Wa!hi(iton On Thursday evening nf last week, tho Heads of Departments, under tho late administration, retired from otlice, and ihe new Secretaries were duly placed in poeieaaion of their several offices. On Thursday morning, the new ohV cials received calls from the subordinates of their several ollices. On the same day, Mr. Ewing received calls of gentlemen from Ohio, and accompanied them to the President's House. Mr. l'rcaton also received calls of gentlemen from Virginia, and extended to ihem the same act of courtesy. Mr. Crawford, the new Secretary of War, had not arrived in the city, hut was oi pec. ted on Saturday. The National Whig of Saturday lays: 11 The crowd is assuaging gradually, like the flood of Noah did, when the March winds blew over the face of the deep. The weather, which has been a month of wet, has become clear again, and tho pleasant breezes of spring prevail. In a few days more our city will relapse into its wonted quiet, except when disturbed by fresh herds of ptace-AMnOrs.'' UT The Rev. Thomas II. Stockton, of Cincinnati, formerly of Philadelphia, haa been elected President of Miami University. The Legislature Adjournment. In the House of Representatives on Saturday after noon, a demonstration waa made upon the subject of an adjournment which is worthy of notice, as it exhibits Ihe intentions of the "balance of power" m that behalf. The question came up on tho Senate resolution 0f Mr. Graham, naming the 21st inst. as the day of adjournment. The passage of the resolution was strongly rosisted by Dr. Townshend, who declared his determination lo resist every movement of that kind until the passage of a bill providing for ft re-dislricting of the Stale has been effected. We do not know how this now promulgation or the will of the "balance of power," will be received through lite State. A very general demand has been made upon the General Assembly toadiourn. Several of the Locofoco members of both Houses have mani fested ft disposition to comply wilh the known wishes of the people so plainly expressed. It is evident, however, that there are ulterior views still cherished by those who havo temporarily seized upon the destinies of the State j and that among olher things to be provided for is a perpetuation of their rule for yean and sessions yet to come. The balance of power now takes the lead in Locofoco measures and movements-it looks for rewards which neither ability nor the self-respect of the present General Assembly can confer upon it; and m default of these, is holding on, with the grasp of death, upon the lingering remnants of that authority, which, when suffered to slip from its hands, is gone forever. The Senate- Kuilroads and Canals. In the Senate this morning, we listened with pleasure to the reoding of an able report, by Mr. Goddard, Chairman of the Committee upon Public Works, upon a resolution inquiring into the expediency of granting charters to railroad companies, where their works might come in competition with the canals of the State. The report gives an extended view of the statistics of canals and railroads, in olher countries, as well as our own, and exhibits in a strong light the fact, that in scarcely one known instance has the estahlish-mentof ono line of communication detracted materially from the usefulness, value or profit of another. Ilia true, that every important work, whether undertaken by States or indiviuals, has, when in operation, to a very great extent created its own business, and given birth to the sources of its own profit. That which it has taken from others has scarcely been felt, in tho new impulses which business has received in its vicinity, and in the development of wealth of which it has been the means. The report advocates a line of policy which is worthy of the wealth, the power and the liberality of the great Stale of Ohio a State which, whatever else she mar do will, we fondly hope, never refuse lo individual entcrprizc, those facilities which it asks, with a view still further todevel-ope our native wealth, and lo minister to the power and the happiness of our citizens.

The Voice of thu Democracy Ntill Raised A-gainst the Inlnmoua Bargain - Will the Statesman call This a ' Forgery 1 ' The following is from the Lancaster Eagle. The pressure of public sentiment upon the editor of that paper haa forced from him another expression of the truth, in a form so plain (hat no comment is necessary . The Democratic Metnberaand Election ol United fltiMCs Venator. We announced, without comment in the Eagle of last week, the vote cast in the Legislature of Ohio, on the 21 at ult., for United States Senator. We forebore for moments of calmer reflection, lite expreaiion of feelings, such as we know justly excite the true-hearted democracy of Fairfield county, and inspire words which we hourly hear, of the most unqualified disapprobation. They are right. A foul wrong has been committed. The democracy of Ohio O, no! they have not been disgraced, but they have been betrayed, by a mt'nonry of the members elected to the Legislature as Democrats. And the people shall know the whole truth, they know it already as if by instinct! We know that many honest men would have the truth concealed, for supposed prudential reasons, whenever its disclosure directly convicts professing friends of profligacy lest these profligates become our open enemies, or our open enemies seixe upon the profligacy of such men as a charge and sn argument against the Democracy. This is false reasoning. The mass of our party consists of true men ; Ihe plain truth will always make them stronger more willing, readier, abler to meet thn menacing foe. Our limits will not permit us at this time to say all we know, think, and feel in relation to this notorious Senatorial election ; but, on the main points, we desire to present a few brief and definite remarks ; for it is the imperative duty of the Democratic press of Ohio to speak out plainly on this subject. For the last twelve years, Ohio has been represented in the Senale of the United States by Win. Allen. His firm, unwavering, and ardent devotion to the rights of the masses, has won for him the position-accorded by all kindred spirits, by the very pith and substance of our cause of the ciiAMrioitor me rao-ri.R. In that powerful and too anatocratie branch of the government has he stood, many times almost alone, breasting, with unflinching courage, the combined hosts ol privilege and corruption, driving them back, and down, beneath the feet of the people. Not heeding the menaces of Ihe enemy, their fierce words, scorning their temptations, beyond the reach of their wiles aud seducementi which corrupt and win ao many from our ranks he continued ever firm, pressing onward and upward in the high path of duty. Possessed of a menial combination as if cast in the very mould of Democracy itself, his political acta, all of them, will stand the most rigid scrutiny. It haa been Ins singular good fortune to have ft clean record, with out a blemib. Upon this grent, eloquent and true man, did the beat Democracy in Congress and among Ihe people, look, aa their main reliaiice in the Senate, during the pros cut administration. They ardently hoped for his reelection. Hut, what must have been their feelings and reflections, when they read in the papers from Columbus, that of the ffty three avowed Democrats of the Ohio Legislature, but 5r7 just a majority, voted. on the riHsr kallot, for William Allen ! I We can read the answer ail ar-iund us, among our own people. Why did the minority boll? Bf THAT VERY-ACT WAd TRAITOROUS! JD hoaretheyt Let their constituents know their names, that thkt may pass judgment on the acts of their servants. And why did they bolt? What ia the Dies of thia deaiructive precedent? Could they not conscientiously vote lor William Allen, one hallot at least f Some uf them, as we are told, declared in their wrath that they wonld never vote for Col. Allen ! Waa he not good enough Democrat for them t It appears not, for they sought a better one, in Salmon P. Chase, an Anoi iTioNiar, who Merer voted m Democratic ticket in histtfe!! And lor him did Ihey yote! Aye tans same men who would not vote even one ballot for lol. men : ; Why (Am opposition?
